The bus was not comfortable as it had a horrible smell. There were also cockroaches everywhere. I was the first person on the bus in CAPE TOWN STATION and everyone complained about the smell as they came in...

Poor, disappointing, the bus did not reach destination, I was told to disembark 450km from destination and finished the journey on a mini bus. What a shame.

The drive was fine, however we were offloaded in Komani an put in an Avanza that is supposed to get us to Adelaide and we’re still in this Avanza now. It’s been hours and I am travelling with a senior citizen. This was never communicated with us. Also, they are charging us extra money for this Avanza to start moving.
